Students and faculty have two new allies to assist research at  the Burritt Library. One  facility, called EbscoHost Academic Full-Text Elite, offers flexible searching, some full text (entire articles online), as well as additional appointments to expedite research at the computer. Its business oriented counterpart,  called EbscoHost Business Source Elite,  provides the same easy  interface and full text retrieval for business  researchers.
•Two ways to search:
Both databases allow KEYWORD searching (entering phrases or simply entering words separated by operators such as AND, OR). The databases also offer NATURAL LANGUAGE SEARCHING. By shifting to the NAT LANG mode the researcher gains the advantage of having not  only the exact words of  the search retrieved, but also permutations of the words. Librarians at the Burritt Library have found this enhances retrieval; and performing the search in both modes has proven to be even more helpful!
Specifying limits:
Another advantage of the Ebsco databases is the ability to limit the retrieval of the search to: 1)  journals in the CCSU          Library Collection, 2)  journals that are peer-reviewed, 3)  journals that are available  full text. Students needing  articles at the "last minute"  have found this last option  very useful.
•Full Text Availability
 If the researcher checks the "full text" box, the retrieved articles are available online.
 •"Web Links"
For certain topics, the databases will connect the  user to related Internet pages.
